FIVE SHILLING TOTE.
There is more than a possibility that the five-shilling totalisator will be introduced in Southland during, the coming year. Mr. W. T. Hazlett, president of the Southland Racing Club, has advocated a 5/ unit and reduced admission charges for some time, and it appears just a question of what club is prepared to make a lead. The majority o fthe officials of the Southland Racing Club favour the idea, while committees of country clubs have been approached, and a good number have expressed their wilingness to try such'a scheme. "The stewards of our club are very enthusiastic about the proposal, and if some other club is prepared to make a lead I am almost certain we will follow suit," remarked an official of a country club in discussing the possibility of a 5/ unit being, tried. Southland racing and trotting clubs are making a combined move to have win>and-place tickets sold at one window, and when this question is discussed by delegates in the near future the introduction of a 5/ unit vt" also be further considered.
